Lizards are revered as beneficent NATURE guardian spirits, but feared as the Devil himself. In this ode to toads and snakes, newts and tuatara, crocodiles and tortoises, herpetologist and science writer Marty Crump explores folklore across the world and throughout time. From creation myths to trickster tales; from associations with fertility and rebirth to fire and rain; and from the use of herps in folk medicines and magic, as food, pets, and gods, to their roles in literature, visual art, music, and dance, Crump reveals both our love and hatred of amphibians and reptiles— and their perceived power. In a world where we keep home terrariums at the same time that we battle invasive cane toads, and where public attitudes often dictate that the cute and cuddly receive conservation priority over the slimy and venomous, she shows how our complex and conflicting perceptions threaten the conservation of these ecologically vital animals. Sumptuously illustrated, Eye of Newt and Toe of Frog, Adder’s Fork and Lizard’s Leg is a beautiful and enthralling brew of natural history and folklore, sobering science and humor, that leaves us with one irrefut- able lesson: love herps.

In the early 1950s, Willem de Kooning’s Woman I and subsequent paintings established him as a leading member of the abstract expres- sionist movement.

They are accompanied by a public discussion and debate as well as by an interview with Michael Bess. Foucault analyzes the practices of self-examination and confession in Greco-Roman antiquity and in the ﬁrst centuries of Christianity in order to highlight a radical transformation from the ancient Delphic principle of “know thyself” to the monastic precept of “confess all of your thoughts to your spiritual guide.” He focuses on the emergence of the “hermeneutics of the self” in confession in early Christianity. According to Foucault, since some features of this Christian hermeneutics of the subject still determine our contemporary self, then the “self” can be shown as nothing but the historical correlate of a series of technologies built into our history. Thus, he argues, our main problem today is not to discover what “the self” is, but to try to analyze and change these technologies in order to change its form.

Yet, despite the fact that a substantial portion of her oeuvre was written in America—not Europe—no one has directly considered the influence of America on her thought—until now.

Poet and protagonist, taken together, are self and consciousness of self, the historical self and the embellished story of that literal self. Written with a masterly ear for rhythm, and interweaving narrative and lyrical passages, the poems recount Clayfeld’s formative memories while exploring concepts such as loyalty, generosity, and commitment, as well as cosmic phenomena such as the big bang theory and black holes. Through all of this, Pack attempts to ﬁnd purpose and meaning in an indifferent universe and to explore the labyrinth of his own proliferating identity.

Robert Pack is the Abernethy Professor of Literature and Creative Writing Emeritus at Middlebury College and Distinguished Senior Professor Emeritus of Humanities in the Honors College of the University of Montana, Missoula. He is the author of ﬁve prose works and nineteen previous books of poems, most recently of Laughter Before Sleep, also available from the University of Chicago Press.

n this provocative look at the economic collapse of 2008, Arjun Appadurai argues that while the crisis was spurred on by greed, I ignorance, weak regulation, and irresponsible risk-taking, it was, ultimately, a failure of language. To prove this, he takes us into the world of derivative finance, which has become the core of contemporary trading and the primary target of blame for the collapse and all our subsequent woes.

Translated by Stephen E. Lewis

n Negative Certainties, renowned philosopher Jean-Luc Marion challenges some of the most fundamental assumptions we have Ideveloped about knowledge: that it is categorical, predicative, and positive. Following Descartes, Kant, and Heidegger, he looks toward our ﬁnitude and the limits of our reason. He asks an astonishingly simple—but profoundly provocative—question in order to open up an entirely new way of thinking about knowledge: Isn’t our uncertainty, our ﬁnitude and rational limitations, one of the few things we can be certain about?

Marion shows how the assumption of knowledge as positive “Marion is one of today’s most important demands a reductive epistemology that disregards immeasurable or philosophers. . . .

ollecting a decade of work from iconic anthropologist and writer Michael Taussig, The Corn Wolf pinpoints a moment of Cintellectual development for the master stylist, exemplifying the “nervous system” approach to writing and truth that has characterized his trajectory. Pressured by the permanent state of emergency that imbues our times, this approach marries storytelling with theory, thickening spiraling analysis with ethnography and putting the study of so-called primitive societies back on the anthropological agenda as a way of better understanding the sacred in everyday life. The leading figure of these projects is the corn wolf, whom Witt- genstein used in his fierce polemic on Frazer’s Golden Bough.

oland Barthes, whose centenary falls in 2015, was a restless, protean thinker. A constant in- R novator, often as a daring smuggler of ideas from one discipline to another, he first gained an audience with his pithy essays on mass culture and then went on to produce some of the most suggestive and stimulating cultural criticism of the late twentieth century. In 1976, this one-time structuralist outsider was elected to a chair at France’s preeminent Collège de France, where he chose to style himself as professor of literary semiology until his death in 1980. “A Very Fine Gift” and Other Writings on Theory The greater part of Barthes’s published writings have been avail- Essays and Interviews, Volume 1 able to a French audience since 2002, but here, translator Chris Turner The French List presents a collection of essays, interviews, prefaces, book reviews, and AUGUST 168 p. 5 x 81/2 other journalistic material for the first time in English.

ecorded during Jorge Luis Borges’s final years, this second volume of his conversations with Osvaldo Ferrari provides a R wide-ranging reflection on the life and work of Argentina’s master writer and favorite conversationalist. In Conversations, Volume 2, Borges and Ferrari engage in a dialogue that is both improvisational and frequently humorous as they touch on subjects as diverse as epic poetry, detective fiction, Buddhism, and the moon landing. With his Praise for Borges signature wit, Borges offers insight into the philosophical basis of his “Borges is a clever metaphysician who stories and poems, his fascination with religious mysticism, and the has given us an enormous and varied idea of life as dream. He also dwells on more personal themes, includ- literature, ranging from re-creations of ing the influence of his mother and father on his intellectual develop- an ancient Chinese ‘book guardian’ to the ment, his friendships, and living with blindness.

Borges draws on the resources of a mental library that IND embraces world literature—ancient and modern. He recalls the works that were a constant presence in his memory and maps his changing attitudes to a highly personal canon. In the prologue to the volume, Borges celebrates dialogue and the transmission of culture across time and place. These conversations are a testimony to the supple ways that Borges explored his own relation to numerous traditions. “Borges is arguably the great bridge between modernism and postmodernism in world literature.”—David Foster Wallace

Jorge Luis Borges (1899–1986), Argentine writer, poet, and philosopher, is best known for his books Ficciones and The Aleph. Osvaldo Ferrari is a poet, essayist, and professor. Tom Boll is a translator and the author of Octavio Paz and T. S. Eliot: Modern Poetry and the Translation of Inﬂuence.

The prototypical con man, Don makes a precarious journey from poverty to fame and prosperity that maps the pursuit of moral perfectionism that features prominently throughout American cultural history. Yet a lingering sense of dissatisfaction hints that the lifestyle Don strives for may be a mere manifestation of the illusory American dream—cemented in the same collective desires Don draws on to advertise cigarettes and luxury cars by day. “Mad Men,” Death and the American Dream takes readers through the cultural fantasies that underlie characters’ motivations in this sophisticated and immensely popular television series, showing how—then as now—we turn to fantasy in the face of conﬂicts that cannot be resolved in political reality. Fascinating and full of accessible insights, the book will appeal to the show’s many fans, as well as anyone interested in American studies, media studies, or cultural history.

Plato & Co. introduces children—and curious grown-ups—to the lives and work of famous philosophers, from Socrates to Descartes, Einstein, Marx, and Wittgenstein. Each book in the series features an engaging—and often funny—story that presents basic tenets of philosophical thought alongside vibrant color illustrations. No mortal man is wiser than Socrates, who, on his daily walks, talks to the people he meets. When the person he talks to takes himself to be very wise, Socrates asks so many questions that the person ends up admitting he knows nothing. When he runs into people who know little, Socrates sets them on the way to wisdom.

n his Columns of Smoke series, Juan José Lahuerta takes on the enormously ambitious task of rereading modernity, offering us SEPTEMBER 112 p., 56 halftones fresh ways of looking at it while drawing new links between the 61/4 x 81/4 I ISBN-13: 978-84-939231-5-0 ideas of architecture and ornamentation, with a special focus on how Paper $29.00s/£20.50 they have been treated in print. ARCHITECTURE CULTURAL STUDIES ESP While the first volume of Columns of Smoke considered epoch- making architect Adolf Loos’s relationship with photography, here Lahuerta turns to the Classical strand in Loos’s architecture and to his written work—and specifically his engagement with architectural and artistic theory. Lahuerta pays particular attention to Loos’s seminal “Ornament and Crime,” the essay that established disornamentation as the signal feature of twentieth-century architecture. Through close analysis of that essay he unearths the racially charged, pseudoscientific ideas from early anthropology that underpin Loos’s thinking. Sure to be controversial, this new reading of Loos’s landmark writings calls the whole disornamentation project into question, and in the process, it reveals a radically new perspective on a major turn in modern design and culture.

Juan José Lahuerta is chief curator at the National Art Museum of Catalonia in Barcelona and professor of history of art at the Barcelona School of Architec- ture. Graham Thomson, who studied philosophy and literature at the Univer- sity of Edinburgh, has translated poetry and prose from Catalan, Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese.

n early January 1904, a reporter from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch traveled to Oklahoma City to meet with a washed-up relic of the I Wild West: Edward Capehart O’Kelley. On the dusty streets of the former Indian Territory, O’Kelley struggled to stay sober and describe his childhood friend, the outlaw Jesse James, to the reporter. O’Kelley once had the opportunity to join James’s gang, but declined in order Missouri Vigilantes to set out for a career as a lawman in Colorado, where his violent tactics earned him the reputation of a man with a quick temper, a ready NOVEMBER 256 p., 60 halftones, 2 maps gun, and a penchant for bending the law to suit his needs. It was there, 6 x 9 ISBN-13: 978-1-883982-85-0 in Creede, Colorado, that O’Kelley met—and murdered—Robert Ford. Paper $24.95/£17.50 Ford was known all across the frontier as the assassin of Jesse AMERICAN HISTORY James. When they met in Colorado, O’Kelley viewed Ford as the worst kind of vermin and was egged on by local miners to avenge his old friend’s death. Imprisoned for the murder, O’Kelley emerged ten years later a broken man, entering a modern world of telephones and streetcars—a world where people no longer cared about his Wild West exploits. It was there, on the whiskey-drenched backstreets of Okla- homa City, that the Post-Dispatch reporter found him, and where on the night before what was to be their last meeting, a drunken O’Kelley was killed in a prolonged street shootout with a policeman. It Ends Here draws on the reporter’s accounts to tell O’Kelley’s tragic story. The third in the Missouri Vigilantes series, the book unravels a circular tale of frontier vigilantism and ponders America’s progress beyond it. An engaging narrative bringing together bank rob- beries, Butch Cassidy, and elaborate tales of frontier justice, this book will delight true crime enthusiasts and students of history alike.
